This is a multipart message in MIME format. -- [ Picked text/plain from multipart/alternative ] I've created a \\home\verisign directory, copied the cert.cer into it. Using the browser, I start the Digital Certificate Manager, click System Certificates, enter my password for the *SYSTEM store when prompted, click Receive a system certificate, enter the path as /home/verisign/cert.cer. The next screen says that the 'Certificate store password is not valid.' I then restart my browser session, click on Digital Certificate Manager, click System Certificates, enter my password for the *SYSTEM store, click Change password, enter the New password and the confirmation - I enter the same password as I used when prompted after System Certificates - the next screen tells me that the 'New password is identical to the old password.' I've repeated this several times, with the same results. Why is my password not valid when I'm attempting to receive the certificate? I'm certain that I've entered it correctly, so it must be invalid for some other reason - but what other reason? The job log doesn't give a clue, nor does the history log.

The cert needs to be on the IFS of the AS/400. Try \\home\verisign\ - works well - easy to remember. Then for the path, just type /home/verisign/certificate.cer and click OK. Then re-assign your secure app on the "work with secure applications" tab. 2. I've found the best way (and the only way I can get to work) is to REVOKE the cert which VeriSign sent you on auto-renew, and generate a new CSR request from the 400 to get a new cert. This also creates a different key pair which adds a bit of security. The revoke/replace is free for 30 days after VSign sends you the cert. Hope this helps. Justin C.

I've started up the *admin instance and get to the Digital Certificate Manager thru the browser. I click on System Certificates, and I'm prompted for my Certificate store (*SYSTEM) and password. I then go to Change Password, and enter the same password that I logged in with (just to verify that I've entered it correctly). I get a screen saying that the new password is identical to the old password, so I know that it's right. I then click on Receive a CA Certificate. I fill in the CA certificate label (idocket.com) and the CA certificate file name (d:\downloads\idocket.cer). The following screen tells me that the Certificate store password is not valid. Q1: why is it saying the password is wrong? Q2: am I doing this right?
